Greetings players and fellow patzers 🙂
Only 1 week after my appalling 1/5 result in the Manchester Under165, I played an Under170.
My goal is to be a top contender at this level within a year.
I would also like a rating above 160... so better results are needed!
Time controls were 1hr 50 mins + 10secs gained per move.
I noticed last weekend that I was moving too quickly, which contributed to my mistakes.
So, take your time, sit on your hands, look for threats, look for weaknesses...
Check all checks!
-------------------
Game 1 - Zak Tomlinson (149) vs John Wareing (166)
John is the third seed in this strong tournament.
I was determined to start well and shake off the poor form shown in Manchester.
I also hoped to end my streak of 1st round defeats (3 out of the last 4 tournaments)
Will I manage?
Once again, I'll share the "Accuracy Score" for each game.

Average centipawn loss - 28
John Wareing
